1.02 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Ceylon sapphires carry a history that stretches back centuries, carried along ancient trade routes and prized by royalty for their rare and enduring beauty. This greenish blue cushion sapphire echoes that legacy, a gem that feels both timeless and alive, as if it were meant to be passed down through generations. The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to present stones like this, where provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds depth to the story and a connection to a storied mining tradition. A collector or a romantic seeking an heirloom piece will appreciate how this sapphire evokes classical elegance while remaining perfectly suited to contemporary design, a bridge between history and the present that lends any jewelry setting an air of refined permanence.

At 1.02 carats and measuring 5.61 x 5.21 x 3.51 mm, this cushion shaped sapphire has a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color return, turning every angle into a study of light and hue. Its greenish blue tone is intense and richly saturated, a color that naturally commands attention and will stand out against metals and gemstones alike. The clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves transparency and character without disrupting the stone's visual purity. An excellent polish enhances the surface brilliance, and the stone has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that elevates color consistency while respecting the gem's integrity. Whether set as a solitaire that celebrates the gem itself, framed in a delicate halo that amplifies its glow, or paired with warm yellow gold to bring out green undertones, this sapphire will become the focal point of any design. The combination of Ceylon origin, intense color intensity, thoughtful cutting, and meticulous finishing makes this sapphire an inspired choice for those who value tradition and wish to create jewelry that speaks to legacy. For guidance on settings that maximize its color and presence, The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to offer expert advice and bespoke design services, ensuring that the final piece honors both the gem and the wearer.
